This is another one of the earliest pieces I made with nightcafe.studio. It’s been fun throwing concepts instead of objects/places at these algorithms. With this one I wanted to explore one of my biggest concerns for us moving forward. The rise of authoritarianism, even more so with our rapidly advancing technology, will be the death of civilization as we know it. It’s closer than most of us seem to want to admit these days too.

Interestingly, while I’m grinding out a few days worth of content before goin on a little vaykay w the babz I find it hard to sit in worry or concern or hopelessness. These new tools and technologies I’m exploring for this experiment are going to empower so so many new people to explore their own creative sparks! And what’s left after everyone can easily make art but to get better at telling stories that connect us and build community! Maybe this is what helps bring us back together so we can solve our problems and commit to driving our amazing civilization to much higher heights instead of driving it off a cliff! Hope springs eternal.

And there's 2 haikus today, because the second one lit me up with gratitude and maybe a bit of awe.
